B18 vs. B16 (Stock Internals)
Which b-series swap could handle 7-8 psi of boost better...and which one would be more likely to see better power gains...I am guess the 1.8 liter but maybe the b16 flows better...?

The B18 will make more power first, but the B16 can handle more boost do to better R/S. In the end I'd say the B16 can make more power with proper tuning. I could be wrong though.

Go with whichever you got. I wish I had built my stock B18 with the money I spent on the B16 swap. Both are good, though.

bump ... anymore thoughts, I'd like to know this too, I'm hoping to go 8psi with Hondata in the next month or two.

Re: B18 vs. B16 (lazy bum shaughn)
whether its faster or not wont make up for the fact you have a 1.6L in an integra (assuming you have a teg). You will always have more potential with the b18, regardless of vtec.

Not true... The B18 will make more power with less tuning effort. I've personally seen a B16 run 20psi with stock internals. That's all I need to say on this.

Re: B18 vs. B16 (VTC_boost-less_CiViC)
I vote B18 there those things can take abuse. My friend runs 10psi right now. His car is down not because of the engine but the stinkin' delta gate boost creep and turbo seal blew. it was old also.
b18 all the way.

Re: B18 vs. B16 (HybridcivicLS-T)
if your running a stock diff you might wanna role with the b18/LS as the b16 one is a piece of poo poo and will blow up under a few hard launches

Re: B18 vs. B16 (integracon)
yeah man most of my boys have too, those things are grenades, but the ls diff is a little strong. not to many probs reported with those ones. BUt if i was picking a b16 or b18 to do a turbo setup i would ahve to add 800bucks for a quaife right of the bat if i chose a b16 tranny. Cause stock it wont last to long. and when it goes it cost your the whole tranny case and all.

Re: B18 vs. B16 (VTC_boost-less_CiViC)
Umm Jinxproof has run over 20psi on a stock B18C1.... you were saying?
Really? I didn't see that, sorry. I'd stick with the B16 though.

Re: B18 vs. B16 (boostedb20vtec)

b18b or b16... b16
b18c or b16...thats a tough call but i think the b18c has the advantage.

A b16 and a b18b are close, but i would go with the b18b cuz of more potential, and it would be easier to drive around town.

Re: B18 vs. B16 (Hmmmm)
I don't know if he is on this site, but some guy name stoopid (he was in the scc magzine) he has put 20 psi on couple of stock b18b's. He put a block guard, in and thats it.
